It's not unusual to see them around here but rare to see them without mommy around.<br />Marti, I don't normally do the Sunday puzzle but when I saw your name I had to try it. I admit, I came up with a big fat DNF. I am humbled, but I thank you for such an entertaining puzzle.

Great expo, Argyle!<br /><br />I can't believe I spelled PEcOE which left me camping on LAcE. Only error.<br /><br />Deer & rabbits both have voices they use. They are just shy. Mortally wound them and they scream.<br /><br />Never heard of MEDCO. I'm not signed up for any medicine insurance. Too many hassles as my mother's caretaker. Also she had a medical emergency after the mail-order company sent her the wrong medicine. <br /><br />I also stood in line at the pharmacy counter behind people who were trying to straighten out fiascos caused by their insurers. I think all the hassles I have had with medical insurance created so much stress it CAUSED health problems. My local pharmacists have been so helpful, I don't want faceless long distance people doling out my meds.<br /><br />Marti: thanks for your golf answer last night.

They were the largest pharmacy benefit manager(pbm) until recently when they were purchased by the 2nd largest pbm, express scripts. They do operate a mail order pharmacy but that is not their classification. When you go the pharmacy, chances are your pbm pays the pharmacy on behalf of your medical insurer and you pay the remaining copay if it applies.

Anon-Mous...Kazie, Happy anniversary and many more.<br /><br />Anon-Mouse, I have had Medco for myself many years, and for my son, quite a few years. We order continuing long term medication by mail, but for new short term maladies we go to the local pharmacy, where can use our Medco cards to get instant service. As others have said, a 90 day supply is so much cheaper than 3 30 day supplies that even if you don't use it all you save money.<br />Because many of us had had very good experiences with Medco, I would recommend that you call their customer service rep to discuss your concerns and to ask for alternatives. Maybe you could get a better deal.<br /><br />Marti, I recovered from my knee surgery in Feb, with little pain and surprising mobility. The PT did me in, causing months of pain, loss of mobility, and far less endurance. It even gave me ankle tendonitis which I still suffer from. When I quit PT I slowly but surely recovered. It is good to be back to gym and dancing.Yellowrockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590216912123103432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-24142411663917669522012-09-10T16:20:18.996-05:002012-09-10T16:20:18.996-05:00KZ:
